Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,
Sva je zemlja imala jedan jezik i riječi iste.
2 and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;
Ali kako su se ljudi selili s istoka, naiđu na jednu dolinu u zemlji Šinearu i tu se nastane.
3 and they say each one to his neighbour, 'Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.
Jedan drugome reče: “Hajdemo praviti opeke te ih peći da otvrdnu!” Opeke im bile mjesto kamena, a paklina im služila za žbuku.
4 And they say, 'Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'
Onda rekoše: “Hajde da sebi podignemo grad i toranj s vrhom do neba! Pribavimo sebi ime, da se ne raspršimo po svoj zemlji!”
5 And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;
Jahve se spusti da vidi grad i toranj što su ga gradili sinovi čovječji.
6 and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
Jahve reče. “Zbilja su jedan narod, s jednim jezikom za sve! Ovo je tek početak njihovih nastojanja. Sad im ništa neće biti neostvarivo što god naume izvesti.
7 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'
Hajde da siđemo i jezik im pobrkamo, da jedan drugome govora ne razumije.”
8 And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
Tako ih Jahve rasu odande po svoj zemlji te ne sazidaše grada.
9 therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.
Stoga mu je ime Babel, jer je ondje Jahve pobrkao govor svima u onom kraju i odande ih je Jahve raspršio po svoj zemlji.
